sooner or later, ATT will upgrade to 4G.
if not upgradable to 4G, y bother!
waste money on EDGE, then waste money again on 4G!

If it's a cheap, easy upgrade, this will bring AT&T and T-Mobiles network up to far more power than any EV-DO network. If our entire network can get speeds of 600 kbps... that beats out a lot of EVDO markets.

In Flagstaff, AZ the EVDO is barely faster then EDGE.

(in my Ben Stein voice)wow, such an advance in technology boosting speeds UP to 600K.... wow.. excuse me while i re coup from being underwhelmed...especially as EV-DO rev A is being rolled out that can get up to 3meg....

some one get the fire extinguisher.. EDGE speeds are blazingly slow...

Why not bypass 4G and go straight to 5G. It's being tested in Southeast Asia as we speak. It's actually up and running on a 2 mile radius. Very fast!!!

although they are testing mobile broadband that can reach speeds of 60MBs while the user is on a train going 120mph; there is no direct definition for 4g so let alone 5g.

Truthfully speaking LTE is only considered pre-4g along with WIMAX and HSOPA. The 4G working group has defined the following as objectives of the 4G wireless communication standard:

A spectrally efficient system (in bits/s/Hz and bits/s/Hz/site
High network capacity: more simultaneous users per cell
A nominal data rate of 100 Mbit/s while the client physically moves at high speeds relative to the station, and 1 Gbit/s while client and station are in relatively fixed positions as defined by the ITU-R,
A data rate of at least 100 Mbit/s between any two points in t...

edge i doubt will ever get over 400kbps let alone 300 on a normal day.. its a max but even with evdo i never gotten 2.4 or 3.1

HSDPA doesnt always get 1.8... they only get like 6 or 700 on an average day with probable spurts like evdo does too...

wimax and LTE are the 4g's...

wimax is cable companies/sprint with comcast HD probably provided through wimax instead of cable lines through the house...

LTE is verizon/ATT

t-mobile's 4g... probably HSDPA... lol
